SensMax Pro S1 Sensor Set

The SensMax Pro S1 Wireless People Counter is an entry-level, battery-powered traffic monitoring sensor designed for automated footfall tracking in retail stores, boutique chains, and international retail networks. Built to streamline data delivery to corporate headquarters without local network friction, it offers rapid wireless deployment and reliable visitor counting across store entrances.

How It Works

The SensMax Pro S1 generates an invisible horizontal infrared beam across store entrances. Every time a visitor crosses the beam, the event is logged into onboard memory. For maximum counting accuracy, the sensor is recommended to be installed at a height of 1.3 – 1.5 meters, preventing false counts caused by shopping carts, low-slung bags, or small children.

System Architecture & Data Transfer

Operating completely cable-free, the sensor communicates wirelessly with a central SensMax gateway connected to a local network router. The gateway retrieves stored counts every 20 minutes and transmits them automatically over the internet to a central cloud server. If a local wired/Wi-Fi router is unavailable, a cellular GPRS/GSM gateway can be deployed to push statistics directly over mobile networks—eliminating the need for a dedicated local PC.

Key Features & Strategic Advantages

• Precise Infrared Detection: Tracks crossing events accurately via an active, invisible horizontal IR beam.

• Extended 2-Year Battery Autonomy: Low-power design delivers up to 2 years of continuous operation on standard batteries, with fast, tool-free battery replacement.

• Onboard Backup Memory: Internal memory autonomously backs up up to 25 days of hourly footfall statistics, guarding against power or network outages.

• 100% Automated Infrastructure: Fully autonomous operation eliminates manual staff intervention for reading or transmitting data.

• Cellular Network Flexibility: Supports GPRS/GSM gateway configurations for remote standalone locations lacking local IT infrastructure.

• SensMax EasyReport Analytics: Direct integration into reporting software for automated graph creation, footfall trend analysis, and conversion tracking.

Available Range Variants

To fit any store footprint and gateway distance, the SensMax Pro S1 is available in three distinct radio coverage options:

Applications & Real-World Use Cases

• Retail Chains & Boutiques: Monitor daily traffic patterns across multi-store networks to benchmark performance and compute conversion rates.

• Gas Stations & Convenience Stores: Track customer throughput across small-footprint commercial locations.

• Public Libraries & Municipal Offices: Maintain simple, automated visitor volume tracking for budget compliance and utilization reports.

• Pop-Up Shops & Temporary Kiosks: Deploy fast, standalone traffic monitoring using cellular gateways without modifying local IT infrastructure.
